I will continue to post these updates as I do more cool stuff via Pinterest! I'm telling ya, it's amazing how easy some of the tricks are, and how much time/effort they save. I've only got a hand full of things this time, but trust me ... they're worth knowing!
1. Cleaning your George Foreman Grill! I've read this also works with a waffle iron. Simply place a damp paper towel on the grill after you're finished using it, and close the lid. That's it, walk away for several hours. The damp towel acts like a steam cleaner, and when you open up your cooled grill, ALL the nasty, cooked on gunk is wet and ready to come off. I use the wet paper towel to scrape the softened yuck off the grill, then clean it up with a dry paper towel. Clean! Perfect! My plates DO detach and I can put them in the washer, but I feel like the dishwasher strips off the non stick surface, so I try to clean it up without running it through the washer.
2. Tying your running shoes in such a way as to eliminate heel slippage. I made my very own Pinterest pin using this blog! Here it is: http://yourenotgettingyounger.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-keep-your-shoes-from-sliding-up.html
3. Freshening up your garbage disposal. I've lived in my apartment for 3 months now, and have noticed an occasional less than fresh odor wafting up from the disposal side every now and then. My only extra word of advice to this pin is to slice up your citrus fruit small before dropping it in (I used a lime). I put it in cut in half like the article suggested, and my disposal didn't grind up the peel. When I put in a small, quarter sized piece, it "ate" the whole thing. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-clean-yo-2-136771
4. This recipe for sweet potato souffle is so fabulous! It was light and fluffy, sweet and savory, but way lighter calorie wise than your typical Thanksgiving side dish. http://www.marthastewart.com/331745/maple-whipped-sweet-potatoes
5. Home made brownies. SO good! http://afewshortcuts.com/2012/05/homemade-brownie-mix/
6. Finally ... I confess, I haven't actually done this one yet, but I'm sure it will work well: http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/06/how-to-clean-and-shine-your-microwave.html
